Yes! People are still learning with us

Coming to this Roadtrek rally and having several people tell us things they learned was wonderful, so validating. We may have met them at some rally years ago but they keep watching us on YouTube now. 

Meg Adam's showed the photos she edited after learning from me. Notice the geeks on tour button on her ibadge.

And David Gottdiner told everyone the story about his bike ride where he did 8 miles on his bike on the legacy trail and missed the turn off for the park. 4 miles later he realized his mistake. He consulted Google maps for directions back to Oscar scherer campground and it showed him getting out on the highway. Then he remembered something he learned from Geeks on Tour and why he always takes a photo of his campsite! He opened that photo, swiped up to the map, and navigated straight back to his RV!

It worked! The things I tell people to do really work!

So, when he's curious about something else on his phone, guess where he goes for help?

And Jim, being the real geek makes sure that Dave has a microphone and amplifier even out here in the woods! Yes, Jim is the boy scout, always prepared.

What a nice few days we had. Ending with a bicycle ride on the Legacy Trail. Thank you Roadtrek group. We've signed up for the next gathering - September at Anastasia park in northern Florida.

Blessed be the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

Fighting inertia

Home for over a month and inertia starts to set in. We so enjoy our house in Fort Lauderdale. It's quiet. It's comfy. And all our toys are there. Jim has his office downstairs, I have mine upstairs and we always have things to do on our computers. Between zoom meetings, our website, and our YouTube channel we stay happily busy. When we want a break we either soak in the hot tub or go for a walk around our 1 mile circle. We've even been doing a little bit of gardening. In addition to some real plants, and some fake plants - we've discovered metallic artwork that looks great on the fence.

Our Backyard:

Our Backyard

We could settle in forever, but we get itchy feet. There's this special little camper van that calls to us, so we signed up to join our fellow Roadtrekers at Oscar Scherer state park. 

Then the time comes and we don't want to tear ourselves away. Why did we schedule this? We're so happy in our house, let's just stay here. No. We scheduled it and we're going. 

What do we need to pack. Not much because we leave the van full of all the basics. We have 2 coffee pots-one for the house and one for the RV. 2 sets of dishes, 2 sets of cookware etc. We still need to pack food and computer stuff. We will still be doing our weekly zoom meetings. 

We always stress out a bit for fear we've forgotten something. 

But we did it, we're on the road, and we feel invigorated. It's so important to fight inertia. If you let inertia win, you don't have new experiences. 

Inertia is a powerful force! It's so easy to get stuck in a routine and lose your momentum. That's why stepping out of your comfort zone can be such a valuable experience - it can help break through that inertia and open up new possibilities. It's not always easy, but I think it's worth it. What's one thing you'd like to try, but haven't yet because it's outside your comfort zone?

Look at this beautiful spot

And see all these interesting people we get to spend some time with.

We could be sitting at our computers at home doing the same thing we did last week!
